Thank you Chrisg.

14 across:

More than one 5 across (footpad?), according to the bard, on the picket lines?

The letters I have are ?E?I?E?D
Could it be deliver'd?
Any help appreciated!

Tam, your first E is wrong - the answer is STRIKERS

Tam - and the last D is also wrong

14 ac I have put strikers

Thanks all, my first E is from 5 down for which I have 'FILTERED'. Anagram of 'relief' (sentiment) and 'd' (deceived) and 't' (tot). What do you have?

Can somebody please explain what STRIKERS has to do with footpads and the bard?

Thanks again.

5d is not filtered - it is falsetto - false = deceiving, and anagram of tot.

strikers are those on the picket line
